Stonebridge Course Update

E-mail Print

A message from Ralph Allwood about the Stonebridge choral course for 8 – 15 year olds:

“If you know any singing 8-15-year-olds, do please encourage their parents, at this late stage (the course will be at Easter), to apply. April 5th - 10th 2010 at Cheltenham College. Some time ago I used to run a Choral Course for boys on behalf of the IAPS, and I still have people reminiscing to me about those. I am delighted that we will be able to run such a course again. Two features set it apart. One is that highly competent and experienced altos, tenors and basses will join the boys and girls at the end of the week so that they will be able to tackle some really fine repertoire. Secondly, we are operating the course on a principle of equal numbers of girls and boys. In fact, to date we have more boys than girls on the course. We do need more, though!”
